Zhang, Chunyan (author), Liu, Bin (author), Yu, Baoxing (author), Lu, Xiaopeng (author), Wei, Yong (author), Zhang, Tao (author), Mol, J.M.C. (author), Wang, Fuhui (author)Surface pretreatment is generally applied before application of protective coatings on Mg alloys, which influences surface microstructure and electrochemical activity of the substrate and has an effect on the coating properties. The effect of various pretreatment processes (sand-blasting, grinding and polishing) on the microstructure and...journal article 2019

Zhao, Chenglong (author), Liu, Lilu (author), Lu, Yaxiang (author), Wagemaker, M. (author), Chen, Liquan (author), Hu, Yong Sheng (author)Replacing the commonly used nonaqueous liquid electrolytes in rechargeable sodium batteries with polymer solid electrolytes is expected to provide new opportunities to develop safer batteries with higher energy densities. However, this poses challenges related to the interface between the Na-metal anode and polymer electrolytes. Driven by...journal article 2019

Wang, H. (author), Zhang, Yue (author), Zhang, Yi (author), Feng, Shuyin (author), Lu, Guoyang (author), Cao, Lintao (author)Microwave heating is an encouraging heating technology for the maintenance, recycling, and deicing of asphalt pavement. To investigate the microwave heating properties of asphalt mixture, laboratory tests and numerical simulations were done and compared. Two types of Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA) mixture samples (with basalt aggregates and steel...journal article 2019

Zheng, Fangfang (author), Li, Jie (author), van Zuylen, H.J. (author), Lu, Chao (author)All drivers have individual ways of driving. Still, there are groups of drivers with more or less similar characteristics. In this research, 28 drivers from Chengdu city (P.R. China) participated in an experiment where car following behaviour was measured with GPS devices. In every measured trip there was a leading and following vehicle both...journal article 2019

(author), Cai, Yangjian (author), Urbach, Paul (author)We propose and experimentally demonstrate a noniterative diffractive imaging method for reconstructing the complex-valued transmission function of an object illuminated by spatially partially coherent light from the far-field diffraction pattern. Our method is based on a pinhole array mask, which is specially designed such that the...journal article 2019

Lu, H. (author)In the past four decades, China has experienced unprecedented rates of urban growth. This remarkable urbanization has also created challenges for China’s environment. To protect the environment, the Chinese national government has issued several policies while still maintaining high economic growth, such as Scientific Approach to Development in...doctoral thesis 2018

(author), Asadi, Kamal (author)Re-establishment of electrical conductivity in graphene oxide (GO), the insulating form of graphene, is (partially) accomplished by reduction through high temperature treatments in a reducing atmosphere, or using strongly reducing chemicals or electrolytic processes. The reduction methods are suited for bulk graphene oxide. Spatially resolved...journal article 2018

Sadri, M. (author), Lu, T. (author), Zoeteman, A. (author), Steenbergen, M.J.M.M. (author)The long-term behaviour of railway track has attracted increasing attention in recent years. Improvements in long-term structural performance reduce demands for maintenance and increase the continuous availability of railway lines. The focus of this paper is on the prediction of the sensitivity of a track design to long-term deterioration in...journal article 2018

Lu, T. (author), Tsouvalas, A. (author), Metrikine, A. (author)In-plane dynamics of rotating rings on elastic foundation is a topic of continuous research, especially in the field of tire dynamics. When the inner surface of a ring is connected to a stiff foundation, the through-thickness variation of radial and shear stress needs to be accounted for. This effect is often overlooked in the ring models...journal article 2018

Mazilu, Traian (author), Faragau, Andrei B. (author), Lu, T. (author), van Dalen, K.N. (author)Transition zones in railway lines are areas between different track structures such as the transition from conventional track (ballasted track) to slab track, to a tunnel or a viaduct. The main feature of a transition zone is that it exhibits a dramatic change in structural behaviour to bridge the difference in the adjacent track parts. This...abstract 2018

(author)Purpose: Variations in the radiosensitivity of tumor cells within and between tumors impact tumor response to radiation, including the dose required to achieve permanent local tumor control. The increased expression of DNA-PKcs, a key component of a major DNA damage repair pathway in tumors treated by radiation, suggests that DNA-PKcs– dependent...journal article 2018

Lu, X. (author), Chen, B. Y. (author), Tan, V. B.C. (author), Tay, T. E. (author)The cohesive element has been widely employed to model delamination and matrix cracking in composite materials. However, an extremely fine mesh along the potential crack path is required to achieve accurate predictions of stresses within the cohesive zone. A sufficient number of cohesive elements must be present within the cohesive zone ahead...journal article 2018
